The private lives of 'Star Wars' stormtroopers

October 31, 2015 03:33

In the "Star Wars" movies, we've seen stormtroopers guard Imperial strongholds, escort prisoners, follow Darth Vader around and fire their blaster rifles in battle -- usually with lousy aim.

But we've never seen them go to the bathroom. Until now.

The faceless soldiers in the white armor are the subjects of "The Other Side," a new series of photos by Spanish photographer Jorge Perez Higuera that takes stormtroopers out of context and places them in mundane scenes of everyday modern life: grocery shopping, gassing up the car, doing laundry and ... yes, using urinals.

Higuera says he believes the average working person can relate to the pop-culture figures because they're the unsung grunts of the "Star Wars" universe.
